Mind Control

Researchers have created cutting-edge graphene sensors to produce an interface that allows for accurate robotic control using thought alone. The development has positive implications for healthcare and a range of other industries.

Mercedes-Benz takes hands-free control to the next level at IAA Mobility 2021. Its scaly Vision AVTR looks as likely to eat its driver as obey, but with a new brain-computer interface, it becomes an extension of the driver's mind and body.

How much better could drones be if you got rid of fiddly hand controllers and flew them with your mind? That's the question EEGSmart asks with this quad, which responds to brainwaves and head movements instead of thumbsticks. It's not perfect, but it gives a glimpse of a mind-controlled future.
